1. Miami Valley Tech Prep Consortium update a. 2016-17 enrollment – Jess shared a portion of the PowerPoint presented at the spring 2017 Tech Prep

Coordinator Meeting held on Thursday, March 9 from 9AM-noon in 12-116. The number of students enrolled in with the MVTPC during fall 2016 was 10,698 (as of early December 2016). Also during the fall 2016 term, there were 3,261 former Tech Prep students enrolled at Sinclair. The slides included a breakdown of MVTPC demographics (number of students by pathway/student and percentages depicting gender and ethnicity), as well as student matriculation data from 2010-2016, degrees/certificates earned by Tech Prep students by academic division, Sinclair Tech Prep scholarships awarded over the past 11 years, and finally, total scholarships and grants disbursed to Tech Prep students enrolled at Sinclair from 2005-2016.

2. Data Capture – Josiah Wahlrab, Operations Specialist (MVTPC) a. End of year credit capture – Josiah presented to the group about possible changes in the credit capture process

for the spring of 2017. At the time of the meeting the process was still being developed and Josiah was seeking input/feedback from partner school administrators and teachers. The credit capture process has been posted to the MVTPC web site: http://www.mvtechprep.org/index.cfm/resources/credit-capture-process. Josiah is working with teachers and schools on an individual basis regarding eLearn credit capture. Grades for these courses cannot be posted unless the student gets a C or better on the proficiency test, the student verifies that they want the grade posted, and are graduating seniors. At this time, Exercise Science students typically only earn CTAG credit for ENS 1116, ENS 1118, and HIM 1101, as well as articulated award credit for ALH 1130 and/or ALH 1132.

b. Multiple Measures (alternative data sources for placement) – Josiah shared that this initiative had an update in January 2017. MVTPC Director, Wendell Meyers shared the update via email to each partner school/district’s Tech Prep coordinators. The new policy can be found on the MVTPC web site here: http://www.mvtechprep.org/index.cfm/resources/college-readiness. Josiah also shared some additional quick reference resources to help students determine what ENG and MAT courses they are eligible to take under the revised policy.

c. Non-Employee Account Request – Any CTE teachers planning to offer eLearn proficiency options for their students must contact Tim Bryant timothy.bryant@sinclair.edu/937-512-2406 in the Tech Prep office for a non-employee network account form. If a teacher has already completed the form through the Tech Prep office, Tim is able to renew an account from one year to the next without the teacher completing the form again.

3. ALH 1101 – Introduction to Healthcare Delivery a. Does anyone plan to offer it for proficiency credit for 2017-18 – Jess shared that ALH 1101 is undergoing a

major course revision in June. The department is no longer going to use the Introduction to Healthcare Delivery textbook, and instead the department is looking to adopt open educational resources (OER) to use for the course. OERs are freely accessible, openly licensed documents and media that are useful for teaching, learning, and assessing as well as for research purposes. At this time no Exercise Science teachers plan to offer ALH 1101 to their students for the upcoming 2017-18 school year, and instead plan to focus on the ENS CTAG and the HIM 1101 credit opportunities for their students.

4. Tech Prep Exercise Science liaison, Carol Cole a. Department update – Construction for the new Health Sciences Center is on schedule and the building is

anticipated to be open for classes at the start of the fall term in August 2017, but the Exercise Science

department will continue to be housed in Building 8/Student Activity Center. Carol shared that the ENS department will have eighteen students graduating this May (2017). The EXSC.S.AAS curriculum was shared with the attendees; students can earn the AAS degree by completing 62 total credit hours. In addition to the AAS in Exercise Science, the department also offers a One-year Technical Certificate in Lifestyle Wellness Coaching (31 hours) and a Short-term Technical Exercise Specialist Certificate (29 hours). Details regarding all three degrees may be found here: http://www.sinclair.edu/academics/divisions/hs/alh. Carol also did mention that the department is no longer running the program under a block-schedule cohort model for the in-coming fall class.

b. School visits by ENS staff during 2016-17 school year – Carol shared that she, Nila Peavy, and Kathleen have been having trouble arranging visits to the ENS classrooms, mostly because of scheduling conflicts. Those teachers who have been able to host instructors from the ENS department shared that the visits have been really positive and that the students enjoy the activities and lessons shared by the department. All three will continue to reach out to the teachers to schedule visits during the 2017-18 school year.

5. ODE and ODHE updates a. CTAG for Medical Terminology (Sinclair equivalent course: HIM 1101) and Exercise Science (Sinclair equivalent

courses: ENS 1116 7 ENS 1118) – Just a reminder that students, with the assistance of their

teachers/administrators, must complete CTAG verification forms in order to receive credit for Exercise Science

and Medical Terminology. The Exercise Science form can be found here:

https://www.ohiohighered.org/sites/ohiohighered.org/files/uploads/transfer/CT2/Verification%20Form-

Exercise%20Science-Front.pdf. The Med Term form can be found on the ODHE web site here:

https://www.ohiohighered.org/sites/ohiohighered.org/files/uploads/transfer/CT2/Verification%20Form-

MedTerm-front.pdf. The credentials needed for credit for all three CTAGs can be found here:

6. Junior Career Exploration Days – Jess will reach out to teachers early fall regarding the Exercise Science Junior Career Exploration Day. It is likely that 2-3 dates need to be selected to accommodate all of the Exercise Science programs who are part of the MVTPC. Jess will continue to work with the ENS, PTA, DIT departments as well as New Student Enrollment Center to improve upon the programming that is covered during the career day events. A tour of the new Health Sciences Center will be included in the line-up of activities.

7. Sinclair Student Services outreach initiatives and incentives a. Onsite advising – From the previous year, this initiative mostly changed from onsite registration to onsite

advising. Sinclair student services offices will work with partner schools that have students interested in attending Sinclair in the fall, though it will mostly involve intense advising with “next steps” so that students have more responsibility in their future (i.e., knowing what all it takes to register, pay, withdraw, etc.)

b. Buy One, Get One (BOGO) summer courses at Sinclair – Last summer 284 students (mostly 2015 grads)

registered, and of those around 50 with drew leaving a total of 234 students participating. Almost 80%

completed and 74% continued on to take classes in the fall. We will be looking at spring 2017 numbers after

semester ends. This year the BOGO offer is for both 2017 Tech Prep grads and 2016 Tech Prep grads. Details

about the BOGO offer may be found here: http://www.mvtechprep.org/index.cfm/gallery/bogo-2017

c. Tech Prep Express Registration – Two dates are scheduled for Express Registration for spring 2017. Details can

be found here: http://www.mvtechprep.org/index.cfm/gallery/express-registration-days-2017

8. College Transition a. Sinclair application – Any students who completed the Sinclair Tech Prep application fall 2015 and plan to

attend Sinclair summer of 2017 or fall of 2017 must reapply to Sinclair by following this link: https://apply.sinclair.edu/standard.cfm. An explanation for the reapplication process may be found at www.mvtech.prep.org by clicking on the “2017 Re-application Notice” link on the right-hand side of the page.

b. New Sinclair/Tech Prep tri-fold – The MVTPC office worked closely with the Sinclair Marketing Department to create a double-sided tri-fold that provides pertinent information to Tech Prep students regarding: documenting

their CTE program/program teacher, Sinclair Tartan ID numbers, courses for which they may earn college credit, links to other scholarship opportunities, a complete list of degree and certificate programs offered at Sinclair, etc. These were delivered to partner schools in January and February for teachers to share with their students. They were distributed a little later than the Tech Prep office had intended. Some edits/revisions will most likely be made for the 2017-18 tri-fold, and it should be ready for CTE teachers to disseminate to students in the fall of 2017. Teachers at the Summit suggested that a letter needs to be addressed to both teachers and students as to how to use this marketing piece/tool for students; evidently there was some confusion as to what to do with the tri-fold and how it could help those students who wish to matriculated to Sinclair. Jess assured the group that she would take this suggestion to the MVTPC leadership so it can be addressed for the 2017-18 school year.

c. Getting Ready for College – The 2017 Getting Ready for College (GRFC) event took place on Thursday, February 16th from 5:30PM-7:30PM, and attendance this year was at an all-time high with an estimated 600 students/family members in attendance. Next year’s event is scheduled for Thursday, February 15, 2018.

d. Scholarship packets – Partner schools will receive their scholarship packets by dates requested to the MVTPC office. This typically happens in late April and continues through May.

e. Ordering Sinclair transcripts – Students may order official Sinclair transcripts by following this link:

http://www.sinclair.edu/services/basics/registration-and-student-records/student-records/transcripts.

f. University Transfer opportunities – Students who matriculate to Sinclair have many opportunities to continue

on to complete bachelor’s degrees at four-year colleges and universities that have articulation/transfer

agreements with Sinclair. Detailed information about these opportunities may be found here:

https://www.sinclair.edu/about/offices/provost/articulation-transfer. For those students particularly interested

in completing at Wright State or UD, there are additional web sites available detailing programs of study and

special incentives for transfer students. The UD Sinclair Academy link may be found here:

https://www.udayton.edu/academy and the Wright State Sinclair Double Degree link may be found here:

http://www.wright.edu/sinclair-double-degree.

9. Tech Prep Scholarship a. Change in policy announced summer 2016 – Just a reminder that Sinclair Tech Prep scholarship recipients may

use their scholarship dollars to pursue any degree or certificate program at Sinclair. Students may take classes at any Sinclair location or online and use their scholarship award money. Details about this summer 2016 policy change may be found here: http://www.mvtechprep.org/index.cfm/resources/scholarship-update

10. Fall Tech Prep application process – At the time of the Summit and at the time or publishing Summit notes there are no definite changes to report, but stay tuned for any notifications from the Tech Prep office in early fall (August or September) regarding the Tech Prep student application process.

11. End of the year info capture processes a. Teacher demographic information updated for 2017-2018 – If teachers anticipate any changes to their contact

information (email, telephone #, job title) for the next school year, please let Jess Moore at jess.moore@sinclair.edu/937-512-5141 know so she can notify the Tech Prep data team of any updates/changes.
